Benefits

Has three legs to stand up and out of the bedding to reduce coiling of water tray. Legs elevate waterer 5".

Simple design that's easy to clean and refill. To fill remove red lid and add water. Ideally refill with a hose because it's heavy to carry when filled to the top.

Worked both indoors and outdoors.

How to Use

See the Installation Instructions above for replacement parts and assembly instructions.

We suggest periodically dismantling and cleaning the unit to prevent hard water and algae build up from obstructing the float system.

Precautions

Note: The exact number of birds to water is difficult to determine as there are many factors that influence intake; salt and protein levels in the diet, humidity, temperature, productivity (growth or egg production) and the birds ability to process feed and water.

For proper function place waterer on a level surface. If used outside, the lid may blow off in strong winds.

Write a Review

I purchased 2 of these waterers I like the height to keep some debris out but it does have a flaw the plastic donut fills with water and that makes the water continuously come out so it never stays filled. My husband had to seal it with aquarium sealant to keep it from filling and now there is no problems with the waterer emptying 20 minutes after I fill it. Also it is a pain to clean you have to take it apart because it grows algae in the parts not visible from the outside. I have had mine for about 1 year and the red top is clear from fading.

Well made and holds 3 gal. but I have 8 hens who do not need 3 gallons a day. Wish this was smaller. It has a large foot print in the run.
Easy to clean. I have a sand run and although it is up on concrete blocks, it still gets sand in the trough.

Came shipped with multiple parts that needed assembly. Easy to
Put together by make sure you don't strip the plastic nut onto the plastic male
Locking portion that connects the two together. After a day tighten the nut again as it leaked a little. Once it is assembled just hose it out to clean as needed. Large capacity makes it low maintanence.

Love this waterer because I don't have to carry it full of water and then flip it over. I just hang it in the coop and use the hose to fill it from the top. The top doesn't fit tightly if I remove it while it's hanging, but it fits well enough to keep dirt and bugs out so no big deal. Great idea and the only one like it that I could find. It's not heated, so I'll use my fill and flip heated waterer during winter months.

These waterers are tough! They are very well made and should last for years.

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Many of Premier’s nets feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity. These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than our “basic” nets. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

We do not recommended the basic nets listed below for fences exceeding 500 ft in length:

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen one of these or their farmstore equivalents. Why do we offer them? Because they are similar in design and conductivity (380 ohms) to nets from our competitors—and comparisons make decisions easier.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Single Spike (SS)The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.

Double Spike (DS)Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.

Drivable Posts (DP)Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between line posts

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between line posts

Essential Energizer Advice

Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
